Here’s an interesting game I just made up: Name 5 things you should always have in your refrigerator, your freezer and your pantry.
Just to make it a little easier, I’m not counting the “staples.” So, assuming you already have garlic, onions, butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, flour and sugar, what 5 things you should stock in each area to ensure that you can always make a tasty meal?
Fridge:
- Cheese (preferably more than one variety, but if I have to have one, I’ll go with Parmesan)
- Eggs
- Salad greens
- Lemons
- Dijon mustard
Freezer:
- Italian sausage
- Boneless chicken breasts
- Bacon
- Pizza dough
- Sandwich or hoagie rolls
Pantry:
- Diced tomatoes
- Canned white beans (cannellini)
- Red wine vinegar
- Pasta
- Chicken stock
